Nugget #36 – Wisdom and the Soul

Nugget #36 (April 9) – Wisdom and the Soul

Back in Nuggets #27 and #28 we learned that light, that being wisdom, brings order to chaos. It is interesting to note that there is no true randomness or chaos; rather there are degrees of disorderliness. Wisdom brings about that order. Thus there is no total absence of wisdom. 

In the previous few Nuggets we learned about the soul, from unity with the Creator, down to the individual (the upper and lower soul).

Chaos or degrees of disorderliness that exists gives us the ability to experience a wider range of freedom of will in the lower soul. The upper soul does not have the disorder that we experience at the lower level. This however does not mean that wisdom will not increase and chaos decrease.

Ask yourself: Can I see light/wisdom in the darkness? Scientists tell us that there is always light detected in darkness. Is there wisdom in those areas where there is no wisdom? Can anyone or anything be completely evil? Can everything truly be good since G-d is good and all is for good?
